 This is the reason that we don't believe God. God's clear about his promises for his children that nothing can separate us from the love of God, that he will never leave us nor forsake us, that he will provide for us, that he will strengthen us, that he will be present with us. So why do we have such a hard time believing him? I've asked myself this question, and if I'm honest, it's because it's too simple. I'd feel so much more comfortable with a comprehensive step-by-step guide on how to make my life work. But the idea of simply trusting God feels vulnerable. The truth is my anxiety provides me with a level of comfort. To release that, to lay that down at his feet would mean me giving up control. That's hard. But today I want to encourage you, what's going on in your heart? Believe in the promises of God, lay all your cares at his feet. After all he's done for you, surely he has earned your trust.
